December Goals

I wish I had access to better editing software. I hate that Photoshop and Lightroom can only be used by paying a monthly fee. I would much rather pay a few hundred dollars for the product and fully buy it and be able to use it as much as I want. If that is possible and I'm just so out-of-the-loop that I don't know about it, please enlighten me because I hate that I edit images - whether it's these "goals" images or images from trips I take - and they look so great, and then I save them, and it's just.... Well, you see the final product. It just sucks.

Anyway, it's the end of the year! And to close out the year, I have just one final goal for the month of December...+ Get organized, and plan for the new year. I've been feeling very by-the-seat-of-my-pants lately. Does that make sense? Despite having a full-time job and having a much more "routine" lifestyle, I still feel kinda drifty. Like I don't write things down or make to-do lists or anything to really keep my personal life fulfilling and productive. I want to change that. And with the end of 2015 approaching, I want to start getting much more organized now so that I can start 2016 strong.

I don't just want to type out my goals here. I want to write them down somewhere that I'll see them every day so that I can be much more mindful about proactively pursuing self-growth and development. I'm a pretty introspective person, and since the beginning of November I've been thinking a lot about how I can better improve myself and continue to grow into the kind of woman I want to be. Starting this month, I want to start putting those thoughts and ideas into attainable goals. And that's where this month's singular goal comes from. It's all-encompassing and fairly vague, which is the exact opposite of a S.M.A.R.T. goal, but it gives me room to explore different options and adjust as I learn what will work for me and what won't.
